Lionel Messi is one of the most outstanding players in MLS. The Argentine has achieved good results since his arrival in the United States nearly two months ago. Since its debut against Cruz Azul, the team has gone from less to more in this year where they lifted a Leagues Cup title and a pending US Open Cup final to be played on September 27 against the Houston Dynamo. With that said, The Herons want to lift their second title in their history and become a winning team.

Furthermore, the goal of getting the long-awaited pass to the playoffs is still on track and Gerardo Martino's team wants to recover after the defeat against Atlanta United. Moreover, it should be remembered that the Miami team has one less game against Charlotte, so this situation gives it a slight advantage. On the other hand, did not know defeat since Messi debuted in U.S. soccer. 

The good streak of the team owned by David Beckam was broken last week from the Mercedes Benz Stadium. Given this, the match against the Canadian team to be played from the DRV PNK Stadium is a priority. In the same way, their local condition can be an advantage for the team and thus recover the path of triumph.

Similarly, Lionel Messi traveled to Buenos Aires during this FIFA International Break to play the qualifying commitments with Argentina where he scored a last-minute goal against Ecuador. However, in the second match against Bolivia he remained on the bench due to physical discomfort, so coach Lionel Scaloni decided not to risk him. Upon his return to the United States, the player did not travel for the match against Atlanta due to discomfort and fatigue.

Will Messi play against Toronto?

Despite not traveling to Georgia with The Herons, everything seems to indicate that the Argentine star will return tomorrow to Gerardo Martino's starting 11. The team wants to forget the bad moment after losing a streak of 12 consecutive games with victory. For now, the pink team's goal of qualifying for the MLS playoffs continues
